Where Lightning Strikes.

From statistics collected in parts of the German empire, G. Hellman finds that the danger from lightning, though generally increasing, is diminishing in certain dis tricts, the risks becoming less the more closely houses are clustered. The char acter of the soil has great influence Let ting one represent the danger from light ming on calcareous ground, two will give it upon mari, nine upon sandy, and twenty two upon clayey soil. It is curious fact, not yet explained, that oaks arc struck much more frequently than other trees so that if the danger for beeches be one, that for pines is fifteen, and for oaks, ty-four.-Arkansaw Traveller.

A Unique Celebration,

Perhaps the most unique celebration of the German Emperor Williams birthday was that which took place 1000 feet high on the southern summit of the Bavarian Alps. Two mounti1inecrs-Stan and Walch by name-ascehded to this eleva= tion, and then kindled bonfire, the ma terials for which they had laboriously dragged with them. They had intended climbing to the very summit of the Watz- mann, but deep snow prevented this, and the bonfire of wood and petroleum was lit on the Falzkopfl. The ascent of the mountain often brought the climbers up to the shoulders in snow, but they were determined to perform the feat, and they did it.-New York Sun.

Attraction of a Mexican Town.

About night the church towers of Jalapa could be seen in the distance, and shortly after the train entered the town The Mexicans have not exaggerated the beauties of the place. Standing on the sloping side of hill, it is sheltered from all cold winds. Tie streets are wide, but so steep that carriages cannot be used, hence every one has to walk. Streams of water run through all the gutters, carry ing off whatever refuse is thrown out from the houses. The cathedral is the most prominent building in the town. It is an old and curious structure, built ages ago. Inside are the altars and chape1s, but the most noticeable feature is the sloping marble floor, which, instead of be- ing level, ascends from the front of the church to the rear.
 Adjoining the cathedral is the great square, shaded by orange trees loaded down with ripe, mellow fruit almost within reach. There it remains, how ever, till gathered by the authorities In an American city single apple or pear tree is guarded by an eight foot fence, on the top of which sharp pointed nails form a prominent feature. Even then the ~chances are that the fruit will be stolen if Ns than t7sc vveelzs- the-htezs4=s--.. i. disappear, and the owner of the place is in constant danger of being killed by the flying sticks and clubs. Not only are fruit trees left unguarded, but the doors of the houses are seldom locked, and burg laries are unknown. But the town is diff ferent from all other places. The people are industrious, and every one appears to be happy. The misery and wretchedness seen in other Mexican cities is altogether wanting here.-Jalapa (Mex.4 Cor. Chi cago Times.

Education of line EIepbant.

The education of the elephant would be very easy but for his cumbersome weight, which forces the trainer to have recourse to cruel means. For instance, to make him raise and hold out his foot, an iron ring with sharp points is placed on it, and being drawn by rope, the points enter the flesh. The elephant, feeling the pain, lifts up his foot and keeps it in the air till the pain ceases. After a few repetitions he remembers the pain, and at the sight of the iron raises his foot His instruc- ton, thanks to his intelligence, is soon completed. Some elephants, in less than a fortnight, are taught to play on drum, work a tricycle. and beg on their hind legs.-Boston Herald

Convincing Proof of Honesty.

"Well, I'm happy at last," said clerk in an uptown dry goods store, lin having succeeded in impressing my employer with the fact that am personally honest. For about q month now he has been plac- ing dollar bill at intervals somewhere about the store after he closes at night, and which I would find in the morning. I picked them up time and again and handed them to him, but the other morn ing l nailed one to the floor instead of handing it to him as usual. Now there are no more dollar bills placed on the floor, and he seems to be convinced of my honesty. Philadelphia Call

Lincoln with a Book.

Twenty years ago no photograph was more often seen than that of President Lincoln sitting with a big book on his knee, and his little son Tad leaning against him and looking at it with him. The book was then thought to be Bible, but it wasn't. It was Photographer Brady's picture album, which the presi- dent was examining with his son while some ladies stood by. The artist begged the president to remain quiet, and the picture was taken.

Roman Lunches Not Popular.

Our demoiselles are giving lunch parties, each of which has a distinct color-yellow, pink, blue or green. At one given the table was lighted by tapers of yellow wax in yellow shades, there was a profusion of yellow tulips, the dinner service was decked with bowls of yellow ribbon, and the guests wore more or less yellow. A Roman lunch was proposed by classical damsel but was found to be rather incon- venient, especially the custom of serving emetics to the guests at the close of the third course, that in due time nature might supply receptacle for more good cheer. Such practice would not find much favor here.-Washington Cor. Chi ca0O Tribune

Conductor ana Passenger.

He had nothing smaller than a $5 bill" The conductor on the Flushing avenue car made critical examination uf his features, and, ringing up the fare, re piled leisGrely: ''Well, I can change it. ' The passenger appeared somewhat sur prised, but gave up his $5 bill, and tlse conductor reached down in his right coat pocket and drew out Q huge handful of , cent pieces. Fifty of these coins were counted out and placed in the passengers s hand A dive down into the left coat pocket produced handful of dimes Twenty of these were counted out to the passenger, whose face assumed look of protest, while the other passengers began to smile. Down into pocket of his pan taloons went the busy conductor and forth came a larger handful than any that had been called out before-of pennies.
 The passenger whe had nothing smaller than S5 bill now went into open rebel lion. His hands were already loaded down with small coins. He said he would leave 1, the car, and demanded his $5 bill. But ] have r11ng up you fare, sir. :. Here is your 45 cents that completes your,change," and the pennies were forced into the unwilling passengers hands. He stormed and swore, took down the conductor s number and the number of the car and asked the names of several of the passengers Gas wit nesses." Then he discovered that he had gone several blocks beyond the place he had started for, and filling two pocke' with his change, D assuring the conductor that this will be looked into, sir," jumped into a mud puddle instead of waiting to ride ten feet further to crossing. The conductor quietly remarked to the pas senger who was helping him to hold down the rear platform of the car: sThat noth ing smaller than a five is too old a game for Henry He'll have enough smai change the next time he wants to ride with me.

Big Corn Yields.

Some of the largest corn yields of the country have been produced by level, shallow culture. The ground is prepared by blowing under lightly barn yard manure some little time previous to seeding. The seed is sown in drills, and when stand is gained some good commercial fertilizer is sown to help the crop along.

Mistaken Identity.

1t appears that the police had been look
ing for one OF the crew of the Juniata for
two or three days. Monday week Paul
WuIl, steerage cook of the Vaudalia, was met
by policeman who, finding one or two
points about Wull corresponding to the
description of the Juniata man, arrested him
and brought him to the Station. The pris-
oner demonstrated to the officials at the
Station pretty clearly that they had got hold
of the wrong man, and protested as best he
could against his arrest, demanding as u
matter of simple justice that the Vandaha
be communicated with, but his appeals were
IN vain. He was forthwith sentenced TO the
cell, but a seaman of the Vaudalia being in
one of the cells for ''breakins his liberty"
was referred 70. aud the latter identified the
arrested c0Ok as a Vaudalia hand. where
upon the latter was told that he might CO.
and he did, but made his way to this Office
IN a highly indignant state of mind at what
he thought was a piece of bungling as well as
great injustice on the part of the police. The
troubls really seems to be that cook Wull
happened TO answer IN some respects to the
description of the party wanted, as the Homo
lulu police are generally not an ill-dispOsed
set of men, but rather the reverse.

have If they desired them. The officers
objected On the ground that the vessel had
been commissioned and they had signed
articles for two years The Minister ez-
planned 20 them, IN reply, that he had no
desire to IntIct any wrong upon them, and If
they felt that they had claims upon the Gov
eminent beyond the period for which they
had been paid, up to the 30th of September,

Primitive Sugar Cane CrusAer.

Come up to the ward and see our new
maceration plant, said Mr.. C. NJ. Cooke 10
Mr.. Alex. Young, Superintendent of the
Honolulu Iron Works, on Saturday after
noon.
The writer happened 10 be talking with the
iron man At the time, and, being on the look
out for some new fact for the Bulletin to con-
tradiet. accompanied him in few moments
to the lumber yard OF Messrs. Levers &
Cooke.
Standing on its end was A stone cylinder.
with a section of its circumference serratsd
with rude cOgs far apart, the spaces between
being mortised with square holes an inch or
so III depth. The rest of the circumference
Is smooth. being the maceratiOn surface. In
the end that was up there was an oetagonaI
hole about three or four inches deep in
tended doubtless for the insertion OF shaft.
The stone is about twenty-four by thirty-two
inches. and its material Chinese granite.
Mr.. Young said this roller belonged to the
kind of sugar mill in use on these Islands
about thirty years ago. Inc rollers stood
perpendicular. He recommended Mr. Cooke
TO send to Koloa, where it came from, for
the counterpart of this roller, so IS to have
the pair mounted as a curiosity.

back. as the two spoken of soon after ''va-

a Bad Sugar Spec.

Judge Wilson yesterday granted defen-
dant's motion for Il nonsuit III the case Of H
Liebes against VI. S. Greenebaum. The ac-
ton was brought TO recover $4,000, which
the plaintiff advanced on a sugar crop on the
Island of Hawaii, on which there was al
ready a mortgage of $4,000. The plaintiff
claimed that Greenebaum represented him
self as an expert on sugar crops, and said
that the one on which the money was loaned
would bring 100000 when cut. and that it
was upon this representation that he loaned
the money. The crop afterwards failed and
plaintiff lost his money.
Greenebaum denied the statement in his
answer and stated that If ne did make such a
statement it would not make him responsible
for Liebes' loss.
Judge Wilson looked at it in the same light
and granted the nonsuit.-S. F. Examiner.
